Chester French isn’t comprised by anything

April 21, 2009 — Laura

I read a lot of what is written on Yahoo! Shine, so I really shouldn’t be surprised by this:

Good grief! I thought most literate people knew “the whole comprises the parts.” So, the musical group Chester French comprises two Harvard buddies. But many people would write “Chester French is comprised of Harvard buddies.” But never, ever, ever, never have I read about a group comprised by anything.
